Off to New Horizons?

Well, I just found out that I might be headed off to Erbil, Iraq, for a few weeks. Most people seem to think I'm crazy. But how can I turn down a chance to go somewhere that I thought would be impossible to access?
Anyway, it would be a long, crazy journey, but one that I can't see myself passing up. Stay tuned, and I'll keep you all posted (pardon the pun)...
